MEM encourages employers to report an injury within 24 hours. Prompt injury reporting can have a significant effect on returning an injured employee back to work safely and successfully while reducing work comp costs. Missouri law requires employers to report injuries to their insurer within five days of the occurrence or their notice of the occurrence. The insurer must report an injury to the Division of Workers’ Compensation within 30 days of occurrence.
